A++++++ Kayak Trip - BRAVO! - This kayak trip was EXCELLENT/AMAZING/OUTSTANDING!! Whenever booking trips you wonder, 'will the cost of the trip be worth?' In this case - YES! This was a couple's trip, and there were 3 other couples in our group. Tour guide Brandon was WONDERFUL! Kind, helpful, supportive of those who were less experienced paddlers, knowledgeable, and seemed to truly enjoy his work and sharing this magical place with others. He was also very focused on ensuring everyone's safety. Everything about this trip was perfect! From the weather, ocean conditions, quality of gear, the smoothness and organization of the van pick-up, to getting geared-up at the shop - WELL RUN OUTFIT! Once on island we were lucky enough to have a mama and baby Monk Seal come up on shore - WOW! Better yet, the staff ensured that others did not land on the island where the seals were at - making sure that this endangered creature has some more space - every little bit helps! If you are thinking about this trip - DO IT! Worth every penny. Oh, and the lunch was perfect. We requested vegetarian, and usually that means you get some weird little hummus wrap with nothing in it. The team created HEFTY AND DELICIOUS vegetable wraps that were just delicious and filling - WELL DONE! I can see why this trip books quickly. But - as much as seeing the islands is cool, if you are not a strong paddler, be honest with yourself. We had a bit of current so it was not an easy day - but well worth it. Oh, and we snorkeled at the island. It was a bit wavy and a strong current - but staying within the guidelines it was fine. Lot's of Sea Turtles were in the water. A++++++ trip!

Great experience and workout! - Great tour experience and Tommy was a great guide! Be prepared to kayak against the wind heading out but worth it!! The eoc tour and snorkeling were fun. Easier ride back in. Recommend water shoes with strong soles for walking around the island. Definitely Italy recommend this!!

We saw native Hawaiian birds, monk seals, and even got to go for a little hike around the island. Would recommend this experience :) Evelyn was an awesome guide!

Best Adventure on Oahu, Kailua! - I had an absolutely unforgettable experience kayaking on Oahu, with kailuabeachadvanture! The booking process was super easy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They gave us a professional briefing and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire tour. The highlight was definitely the dolphins – it was magical! During the kayak trip, the dolphins came right up to us, allowing us to watch them in their natural habitat. It was such a surreal moment that made the whole experience even more special. The scenery around Kailua is breathtaking, and the staff ensured we could enjoy every moment. If you're visiting Oahu, this adventure is a must! A huge thank you to the team for making this experience so amazing!

Good time - This was a fun tour! Everyone in the shop was nice and helpful, and our tour guide, Tommy, was exceptional! Getting to the islands is a bit difficult, but worth it. Tommy gave us a great tour of the island, gave us lunch, then had some free time to snorkel! There was also a mom’s seal and her pup hanging out on the beach! Thank you so much for the great tour!

Brian rocks - The tour from Kailua beach to the Mokes was amazing! We saw many turtles along the way and the water was so clear and beautiful. Brian’s knowledge on the island was informative and interesting and he also kept us laughing the whole time. It was great to learn about the Monk seals and actually see a mom and her baby wow. We are so grateful for the experience and a guide who made it special! Thanks BA!

Brian is the BEST! - This was our second tour with Brian, 2018 and 2025 respectively. It was a beautiful day, the conditions couldn't have been more perfect. We saw turtles, baby birds and even a monk seal. Brian is very knowledgeable and takes his time to explain everything to us. Aside from that, what we especially love about Brian is that safety is his first priority. We feel safe out on the water with him and are better ocean stewards because of him. He treats our daughter as if she were his own and makes sure she's always safe and comfortable. Can't recommend or thank him enough!

Amazing wildlife and scenery, entirely worth the effort! - This trip was incredible! A lot of work getting out to the Moks with the tradewinds, but well worth the effort because they're gorgeous! Would highly recommend the earlier tour - pretty much had the beach to ourselves for the first few hours before anybody else made it out there. Great wildlife watching: saw some super cool shorebirds, a turtle, and a monk seal and her new pup! No snorkeling though, water was a little turbulent between the winds and the recent tsunami stirring things up. Special shoutout to guide Brandon who was amazing at talking about the wildlife and the area and his experiences living in Hawaii; he was also awesome and patient when I struggled to paddle against the wind (couldn't keep the kayak going in a straight line to save my life), and did a fabulous job even though I was the only one who got up early enough for the first tour of the day. Thank you Brandon!
